<h5><a name="hobby">Hobbies</a></h5>
<p>
Since September 2001 I am fond of Linux operating system and of
the open source software, that I use almost everyday to realize
scientific utilities.
<br>
My lectures vary from classical novels to essays and comic books.
Among my favourites books "Nausea" by Sartre and "The Idiot" by
Dostoevskij.
<br>
I like rock music, almost British groups, especially Pink
Floyd.
<br>
I am fond of a lot of sports: I weekly play soccer and sometimes
I approach other sports.
<br>
When possible I do some bricolage,
even if it is hard to find the time.
Boxes are my favourite thing to build.
